x86/mm: Don't reenter flush_tlb_func_common()



It was historically possible to have two concurrent TLB flushes
targetting the same CPU: one initiated locally and one initiated
remotely.  This can now cause an OOPS in leave_mm() at
arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:47:

        if (this_cpu_read(cpu_tlbstate.state) == TLBSTATE_OK)
                BUG();

with this call trace:
 flush_tlb_func_local arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:239 [inline]
 flush_tlb_mm_range+0x26d/0x370 arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:317

Without reentrancy, this OOPS is impossible: leave_mm() is only
called if we're not in TLBSTATE_OK, but then we're unexpectedly
in TLBSTATE_OK in leave_mm().

This can be caused by flush_tlb_func_remote() happening between
the two checks and calling leave_mm(), resulting in two consecutive
leave_mm() calls on the same CPU with no intervening switch_mm()
calls.

We never saw this OOPS before because the old leave_mm()
implementation didn't put us back in TLBSTATE_OK, so the assertion
didn't fire.

Nadav noticed the reentrancy issue in a different context, but
neither of us realized that it caused a problem yet.
